My view- Keep
adult entertainment from kids on Deseret News is an Op Ed piece penned by
none other than Jack Thompson, described as "a former practicing attorney" in an
odd non-disclosure of his disbarment. Thompson outlines a bill to be introduced
in Utah he helped author: "It doesn't define what content is 'harmful to
minors,' so we avoid the phony First Amendment arguments Hollywood loves to
make. The bill simply states: If you promise the public you don't sell
adult-rated entertainment to kids, then you had better be telling the truth,
because if a parent catches you selling this stuff to his or her kids, then
you're guilty of fraud under the Truth in Advertising Law."
GamePolitics has a follow-up on this, saying: "The
Salt Lake Tribune has confirmed
that a Republican state legislator will introduce a video game bill crafted by
Jack Thompson."
